Every time I have passing a cafe like this - warm, cozy lit, filled with visitors, the same thought appears into my mind: "Who are those people, does they celebrate anything, why this guy is sitting alone..."

Thanks to the Wrinkle event I have spent on these thoughts much longer time than usual 5 seconds :)

PS. Seems that Moscow never sleeps - on the way home after shooting this pano I got in traffic jam (at 2 a.m.!)

Numerous Moscow panoramas can be seen on the site Moscow VR city guide, belonging to the rapidly growing network 360cities

Caption in Russian

Каждый раз, когда я прохожу мимо такого кафе - с мягко освещёнными окнами, выглядящего особенно уютным в декабрьскую московскую слякоть, в моём сознании возникают вопросы - "Кто эти люди, что они празднуют... а вон тот парень - почему он сидит один..."

Благодаря тому, что я снимал панораму для "Мощинки времени" и задержался на одном месте подольше, подумать обо вcём этом получилось подольше, чем обычные 5 секунд :)

PS. Кажется, что Москва перестала спать вообще - возвращаясь домой после съёмки панорамы я попал в мини-пробку на Петровке в 2 часа ночи!
